RTV 1100

[Kahuna]

I'm not sure what model it is called but it is the newest Kubota UTV with the cab and factory air. I saw it yesterday at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL. It sounded like at good idea but the seating area is so small. I am tall and my knees pushed up against the dash. I don't know if they made the interior smaller to make room for the air and heater but it definitely will not be going home with me. I supposed they designed it for the Japanese people, hard to find one over 5-7.

I think that the Japs will have to make it to Georgia to see one, for I think thats were the production plant for the RTV's are. But you are right, they must have been a Jap on the drawing board ~~~ Have you tried the 900 series units ?

I'm just over 6' and I find I'm a bit tight but not uncomfortable. Both machines have about the same leg room although he dash is a bit different because of the air conditioner and the room for the radio.

I am 6'5" but all I did with the RTV900 was raise the seat an 1'. Now I got all kinds of leg room.

i'm 6'2'', cab area is a little tight but so was everything else i tried. room seems the same as the 900 i had. feels bigger than my rhino.maybe i just don't notice it as much without sweat running down my back.

I'm " sawed-off " , >>>> I'm lucky I reckon' , never had any trouble with the bailing in and out of the RTV. But I can see where a tall feller would have the knees a knocking.

You mention that the Kubota engineers must have made the cab for short people. I think Kubota made 'em for ...American Cowboys.. There's enough head room in the RTV 1100's for a 10 gallon hat! They { Kubota } must think all Americans are..... John Wayne Cow Boys !!

I was wondering why so much head room in the cab. Maybe it because the height is necessary for the ROPS to be effective. Just a guess.

In my case, I installed a Big Sky , two weapon overhead gun rack ~~~~
& is worth every nickel !!! Weapons stays dry, out of the way, and you can drive with ease. Weapons install & remove really easy & quick .

Also, might be the reason, to install the Kubota overhead console units that have all kinds of accessories on them. But, a man can just about install about anything he wants up there but a meat grinder !!!!

I'm going with the new XUV Gator, all kinds of leg room, plus you don't have to slide over protruding handles to get in the seat.
